Speaker 1: raised its guidance for the year. Most stocks fell earnings

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: on the price of crude, largely setting the tone for

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: individual shares. As investors assess the Federal Reserve's latest policy

13
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,760

00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: have got its yearly reven new view. I should say

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,360

Speaker 1: of one percent, and gold up again. There of one

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: and a half percent. I'm Charlie Pellock. That's a Bloomberg

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: business flash. This is taking stock with Gableen Hays and

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: pim Box on Bloomberg Radio. Shares of Facebook are moving

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: higher by more than seven and a half percent and

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: after hours trading. As a result of their second quarter

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: earnings release, the company reported that second quarter sales climbed

27
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: fifty nine percent to six point four billion dollars. That

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: beat analysts projections. Also, to take a look at how

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: many monthly average users they added last quarter, sixty million

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: monthly average users were added. That's twenty times what Twitter added.

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,279
Speaker 1: Here to tell us more about Facebook is to Tendra Warrel,

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: global Internet and consumer Electronics analysts for Bloomberg Intelligence, providing

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: unique and real time research in a variety of industries, markets,

Speaker 1: and all the government factors that affect businesses. Our terminal

35

Speaker 1: customers can access this function at b I Go and

36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: there Tender joins us from our Bloomberg nine six studio

37
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Jotendra tell us about Facebook and the

38
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: results today a PM so an absolute blowout quota. The

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: street was expecting forty nine percent growth and revenues. You know,

40
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: they ended up coming at fift Mobile is basically behind,

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: uh the entire growth story here, and obviously video acceloration

42
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: continues and a new revenue stream. Instagram is probably adding

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: more than what what we thought it did. So all

44
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: in all, great quota. And most importantly, if you look

45
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: at the engagement numbers, they are accelerating, so people are

46
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: more engaged on Facebook or any competition fears that people

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: had may alleviate, like likes of Snapchat cutting into Facebook's

48
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: time or people getting bored of Facebook and all those things. Uh,

49
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: these numbers are not showing any of that fatigues. So

50
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: all in all pointing to continued growth and market share

51
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: um in in mobile advertising. So tender to we do

52
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: we get any breakdown geographically US versus Overseas, etcetera. Yeah,

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: we do. And the interesting thing is, like US growth

54
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: was very strong about six y o y over here

55
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: and and really it's a broad based sort of growth

56
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: that we're seeing across you know, different regions that Facebook

57
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: operates in. But most importantly, like you see an acceleration

58
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: in our pool, like the average revenue they are making

59
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: poor user that's going up. Probably they are up selling

60
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: more services more targeted as to the same users loosing

61
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: more dollars out of it. Uh. So you see US

62
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: obviously leads over there with the r pool numbers, but

63
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: the US growth I think it's really broad based at

64
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: this point. I wonder if you could comment on the

65
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: goodwill that's such a blowout Quarter creates for Facebook to

66
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: allow them to invest in things such as Internet, drones

67
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: and virtual reality. Reported from our Sarah Fryer at Bloomberg. Yeah,

68
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: it continues to build that good will. Actually, so Facebook

69
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: has been up pulling this balancing act beautifully in terms

70
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: of like supporting these heavy growth expectations with their core

71
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: business Instagram and video while building new revenue streams like

72
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: rtual reality and let's not forget messaging. You know their

73
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: messaging services. What's happened Messenger have more than two billion

74
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: people on on that service and they don't make money

75
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: out of it yet. So the idea here is, let

76
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: the core uh support of growth that Wall Street expects

77
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: until the new revenue streams come to write it further, So,

78
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: can anybody's Facebook now, just in a world a universe

79
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: of its own, can anybody quote unquote compete with Facebook? Well,

80
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: there's Google on the other end of the equation, but

81
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: the Google and Facebook basically account for fifty of mobile

82
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: advertising UM industry revenues. And really the strength that Facebook

83
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: has that nobody can really compete with them is targeting.

84
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: You know, they can target not just like what interest

85
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: do you have, but contextually when you are more likely

86
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: to do it better than most other incumbents. So that

87
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: translates to better r o I for advertisers, and you know,

88
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: once they see better r o I, they come back

89
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: with more to sender. What does this tell us about

90
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: not only the performance of Facebook, but comparison with Twitter

91
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: basically tells us that Twitter has a company specific issue

92
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: and brands are less likely to sort of like spick

93
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: with them. I mean, they're seeing brand weakness over there. Uh,

94
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: They're they're in. They're basically they're seeing brand weakness in

95
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: like advertising revenues that they're seeing and the growth rate

96
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: expectation for three Q is like five. I mean that's

97
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeahhoo's mobile growth rate was a three last quarter. So

98
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: obviously the company's specific issue and there's no clear signal

99
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: yet that the new Life strategy can turn around this trend.

100
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: But the tender seems to me too. These are different

101
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: business models. They sell people different things, right, comparing Google's

102
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: mobile to facebooks mobiles mobile. Because Facebook, there's only one

103
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: site that does this for you, connect to you with

104
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: friends and business and everybody else. Twitter's all about Twitter

105
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: character messages out. Uh. That's why I ask cannybody compete

106
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: with them because they may have equal mobile ads with Google.

107
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: Google may may meet them there, but in terms of

108
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: what they do, who else does this to this extent? Right?

109
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: So what advotisers only care about what is the cost

110
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: of acquiring a user and what is the return or

111
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: investment I get for paying that cost, and whoever shows

112
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: better on those metrics, they go with them. Right. So

113
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: if you look at Twitter's market share, it's like loose

114
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: single digits verresus. We talked about Google and Facebook taking

115
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: like of the market so they have the volume, they

116
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: have the targeting. But you're right about like, Um, you

117
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: know these guys serving sort of different uh forms of advertising,

118
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: especially Google and Facebook because you know, search is equally important.

119
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: So Google and Facebook have pretty much become the staple

120
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: of digital advertising for marketeers. Septender Roll, thank you so
